Porphyromonas Bennonis

See also: porphyromonas (genus page), porphyromonas gingivalis (species page)

Porphyromonas bennonis is an obligate anaerobic, Gram-negative bacterium related to the periodontal pathogen porphyromonas gingivalis. Unlike its oral relative, P. bennonis is primarily associated with the vaginal and reproductive tract microbiome.

Endometriosis Association

Identified in the vaginal microbiota of endometriosis patients alongside other anaerobes in N-glycome profiling studies [1].
